[Intro – distorted synth pulse, cocky spoken vocal] Oh… So this is the “good” version? That’s disappointing. I was hoping you had worse ideas. [Verse 1] Everybody knows the way you play it Smile polite, keep the edges clean Know exactly when to bite your tongue Make sure nobody sees what you mean You got manners for the daylight Perfect little “nothing’s wrong” But I caught that look across the room And sweetheart, that look don’t belong To somebody innocent Nah You just got excellent self-control [Pre-Chorus] I’m not here to change you Wouldn’t fucking dare I’m just wondering what happens When you stop pretending you care [Chorus] Come off the leash tonight You don’t gotta be good for me You don’t gotta act right You can be whatever you wanna be Let the nice girl take the night off Let that halo hit the floor I didn’t make you dangerous You were dangerous before Yeah— Bad looks good on you When it’s something that you choose Come off the leash tonight I wanna meet the rest of you [Verse 2] There she is— Took a couple bass drops And half a fucking grin Now the one they call responsible Is letting trouble in Not falling down Not losing control You’re choosing exactly where you go That’s hotter You don’t need somebody dragging you Into shit you didn’t choose You need somebody keeping up When you decide you’ve got nothing to lose And I can do that Probably. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t need permission Don’t need saving You weren’t waiting to be changed You were waiting for a room Where nobody needed you behaved [Chorus] Come off the leash tonight You don’t gotta be good for me You don’t gotta act right You can be whatever you wanna be Let the nice girl take the night off Let that halo hit the floor I didn’t make you dangerous You were dangerous before Yeah— Bad looks good on you When it’s something that you choose Come off the leash tonight I wanna meet the rest of you [Post-Chorus – female-response space / gang vocal] Good girl? Who told you that? Good girl? Yeah— Fuck that. [Verse 3 – beat gets dirtier] I like the laugh when you cross your own line Not somebody else’s Yours That little moment where you realise You could’ve done this shit before No guilt No apology No waking up ashamed You’re allowed to have a wild side Without somebody giving it their name And if tonight gets irresponsible? Cool. Just don’t confuse free With somebody getting access automatically That shit gets revoked. [Beat cuts] See? Even bad decisions need boundaries. [Beat slams back] [Chorus] Come off the leash tonight You don’t gotta be good for me You don’t gotta act right You can be whatever you wanna be Let the nice girl take the night off Let that halo hit the floor I didn’t make you dangerous You were dangerous before Yeah— Bad looks good on you When it’s something that you choose Come off the leash tonight I wanna meet the rest of you [Bridge – seductive, slower half-time] Maybe you’re sweet Maybe you’re trouble Maybe both fit perfectly Maybe everybody only gets The version that they’re safe to see So don’t give me innocent If innocent ain’t true I’d rather meet the complication Standing underneath the “good” No judgment No ownership Just— Fuck. There you are. [Final Chorus – huge electro-pop lift] Come off the leash tonight Leave the reputation at the door You don’t have to stay nice Just because they liked you more Let the whole room misunderstand you You don’t owe them something pure I didn’t turn a good girl bad I just made damn sure She knew she could choose Bad looks good on you Wild looks even better too Come off the leash tonight You’re not becoming someone new— You’re letting out The rest of you [Outro – spoken, amused] Good girls don’t go bad. They just eventually get tired of being fucking supervised.
